GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Leigh Centurions - 19:35:pm

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

The last line was copied and pasted.

Leigh have 14 start with Bet 365.

Leeds are in poor form but I’m fairly confident we will win by more than 14 points.

Play uphill first half and keep it tight.

Mark Ryan Hall out of the game and start offloading 2nd half.

Due to injuries, Leigh will hold their own in the pack.

They just need not to give Leeds too much respect.

2 close games last year and arguably Leigh have a better team this season.

I'll go for an upset and say Leigh by 7

Although it may take a few off the semi final crowd, another scalp by Leigh would be feather in the cap of all the cup romantics out there.
Come on Leigh !

If Leigh play like they did against Salford then they have a real chance.Add in the neutral venue and 14 start does seem tempting. Should be a better game than last night's trudgathon.Sky really got the pooey end of the 4 fixtures.

I cannot foresee anything other than a thrashing of lowly Leigh by lovable Leeds.

I genuinely think Leigh will win this.

Hope we hold our own in this game but in reality its just another stepping stone to be ready for the qualifiers should we get there

Hopefully be a good game, that Leeds lineup is very average and I think this is a great chance for Leigh. Having said that, I think Leeds will have too much in the last quarter of the game and should pull away.

very brave but correct decision. bloody stupid but sadly Leigh never seem to learn

Very harsh. Just a hip toss that was overly aggressive.

Yellow all day long, that. He was reckless but didn’t mean to do what he ended up doing.

Game over!

yellow? really? give over

Awful decision for me, it’s stupid from Mata’utia but there’s zero intent and more reckless than anything. Sin bin would have been fair enough but instead that’s game over.

He landed on his head. Could have broken his neck very easily. No need for that lift. Red all day. Good reffing imo.

Yellow at worst.

Incompetent Chris Kendall influenced by McDermott's comments during the week, now he's penalising Leigh to death for nothing on top of an incorrect red card...Game over, no point Leigh turning up tonight.

Red card was the correct decision

I defended him last week but Kendall is doing his best to make sure Leeds can’t lose with these penalties.

Red all day that, you dont seen a player of for that then you may as well not have the red card, inches away from career or life threating injury. Intent or not it was correct decision.

But he took a drive literally 2 plays later so nothing wrong, inches away means naff all. Any tackle is inches away from potential life changing injury.

That’s not really the point. Someone could be punched in the back of the head and walk away unharmed. The puncher would still get a red.

It was a dangerous and unnecessary throw. The rest of the game is nobody’s fault but Matautia.

It’s a yellow because you are allowed to hip toss, it’s a perfectly legal tackling technique. The outcome was not intended, but was bad, so that’s why it’s a yellow.

It’s not like he pile drove him into the ground head first. The first 85% of the act of that tackle was fine.

Great refereeing from Kendall. No ones fault except Mata'utia's.

How can you possibly know that and about the 20 seconds later he was fine. There’s an obsession with any sort of contact with the head and it’s hugely annoying.

Go say that to Alex McKinnon.
